Lenovo: what does this mean?
So i ordered a laptop from Lenovo: thinkpad T60, right? and that's what i get on the UPS tracking:
THE SHIPMENT IS BEING HELD BY BROKERAGE FOR REASONS BEYOND UPS' CONTROL / BROKERAGE RELEASED SHIPMENT. SHIPMENT IS SUBMITTED TO CLEARING AGENCY FOR FURTHER CLEARANCE it seems to be stuck in Louisville, KY but what is this "Brokerage" deal? |

Basically, the shipment was held by a customs office whilst they determined if there was anything wrong with it, and if it would insight importation fees / duties / taxes etc..
its common, especially with something like a common model of laptop, customs get fishy about anything that can be easily obtained in your local city being shipped to you from another country. |

Oh right - that's interesting!
So are you really shipping in your T61 or are you planning to be the UKs next biggest drug dealer...?  LOL. |

Seeing as how he's in Indiana, I doubt he's trying to be a UK drug dealer....
